The product of (x + 7y) and (7x - y) is
7x^2 - 7y^2 + 48xy.

How to find the product of the expressions

To find the product of the expressions (x + 7y) and (7x - y), use the distributive property.

Multiply each term in the first expression by each term in the second expression and then combine like terms, if any.


(x + 7y)(7x - y) can be expanded as follows:


(x)(7x) + (x)(-y) + (7y)(7x) + (7y)(-y)

Simplifying each term:


7x^2 - xy + 49xy - 7y^2

Combining like terms:


7x^2 + 48xy - 7y^2

It can be rearranged thus;


7x^2 - 7y^2 + 48xy

Therefore, the product of (x + 7y) and (7x - y) is
7x^2 - 7y^2 + 48xy.

Find the complete question below;
